While I appreciate what GM Dorxenore tried to do, Exodus has a consistent problem with a series of known trolls who spend their every waking hour in Discord using out of game communication to harass people, within the finite limits that they are allowed to on the FFXIV client.

It's merely talking in channels or open parts of the world, but never so far as to be actually punished for their offenses. These players have been banned, permanently in some cases and take no amount of joy in causing problems for player's on this server. It's a large reason why we regularly lose players from this server going to other ones or outright quitting the game.

I honestly wish Novice Network had a better system in place for prohibiting abuse. It is the first communication new players to the server see and it can be misused as a place to shitpost, harass, or bully other players and very rarely do you see these individuals removed from the channel, they merely make new accounts jump potion and resume their activities. It is beyond me why repeat offenders to the game are given such a level of allowance to continue to cause pain and suffering and sadly, they will likely continue to do harm without any form of reproach.

So I will say thank you to GM Dorxenore, and the rest of the GM team and I wish you a happy holiday but I fear that this may well change very little to improve the quality of life and enjoyment that I gain from playing on FFXIV.
